Wi-Fi Direct – Is this the end of Bluetooth?

Wi-Fi Alliance (this includes companies like apple and Nokia) has decided to launch a Bluetooth rival that’s going to do the work of Bluetooth in a better way. It’s named Wi-Fi Direct. This allows laptops and smart phones to form peer to peer connection without the need of them to connect to a network. The most exciting thing about Wi-Fi Direct is its backward compatibility. This can be implemented in older Wi-Fi devices through a firmware patch.Wi Fi Direct

It’s expected to offer a speed of almost 10 times that of Bluetooth, i.e., it would offer 250 Mbits per second. It would work in greater distance than that of Bluetooth.
